‘What’s Next?’ events for international students leaving the University

All international students due to leave this year are invited to the What’s Next? Leavers Conference - designed to help you in your next steps and future endeavours.

The programme of events includes a series of inspirational and practical talks, networking opportunities and interactive sessions, where you'll hear from alumni and fellow graduates and reflect on your experiences here.

Highlights include:

• Headline speech from Mark Beaumont, record breaking cyclist and adventurer
• Dr Tina Harrison, Assistant Principal, on how you can make the most of your Edinburgh degree to enhance your career prospects
• A panel of recent alumni sharing insight and advice, and answering your questions
• Interactive workshops to help you reflect on your Edinburgh experience
• The What's Next fusion ceilidh in the Spiegeltent with live band Whisky Kiss
